Hillcrest Lutheran Academy (1-4) and Bertha-Hewitt (4-1) go head to head this Friday at 7:00 PM. Bertha-Hewitt will be looking to take advantage of a struggling Hillcrest Lutheran Academy defense that has allowed an average of 38.4 points per game.
After flying high the game before (41 points), Hillcrest Lutheran Academy faltered in its previous match. There's no need to mince words: it lost to Underwood last week, and it lost bad. The score wound up at 44 - 0. The blowout was painful but not necessarily a surprise as Underwood is ranked 31st in the state, many places higher than Hillcrest Lutheran Academy.
Meanwhile, Bertha-Hewitt crushed Laporte last week, winning 50 - 14. At 36 points, that marked Bertha-Hewitt's largest margin of victory so far this year.
The last time they met, Hillcrest Lutheran Academy was the 25 - 0 victor. Its win shoved Bertha-Hewitt out of the playoffs, so the team will have a target on its back in this one.
